Construction jobs in Orlando — no SSN required

Yes — you can find real construction work in Orlando without a Social Security Number. Knuckl is a construction workforce app where contractors post jobs and workers apply directly, in their own language. No SSN. No papers. Just work.

Knuckl was built for the workers who actually swing hammers, tape drywall, pour concrete, and clean job sites across Central Florida. Not gig-app errands. Not one-off tasks. Real construction work — framing crews, roofing crews, drywall crews, painters, plumbers, electricians, landscapers, and general labor.

The difference from other job apps is simple: you don't need a Social Security Number to build your Knuckl profile or apply to a job. You describe your trade, your experience, and where you can work. Contractors see your profile, message you inside the app, and hire you directly. Pay is agreed between you and the contractor before you show up.

How Knuckl works for workers

1. Sign up in minutes with just your phone. Enter your phone number, choose a language, and pick your trades. No SSN, no employment paperwork, no bank details asked for at signup.
2. Browse jobs on the map in your language. The app shows open jobs across Orlando, Kissimmee, Winter Park, and the rest of Central Florida. Titles and descriptions auto-translate between English, Spanish, Portuguese, Haitian Creole, and French.
3. Apply and start working when a contractor accepts. Tap apply, message the contractor to confirm the address, start time, and pay rate, and show up ready. Your history stays in the app so future contractors can see you've been reliable.

Working without an SSN in Florida

• You have the right to be paid for work performed. Federal and Florida wage laws generally protect the right to receive the agreed pay for hours worked, regardless of immigration status.
• ITIN is available from the IRS. An Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) is issued by the IRS for tax reporting purposes for people who don't have an SSN. See IRS Form W-7.
• Agree pay in writing before you start. Get the hourly rate, expected hours, and payment day in a message inside the Knuckl app. Written terms protect both sides.
• Knuckl is a marketplace. We connect workers and contractors. Pay terms, tax treatment, and worker classification are agreed directly between you and the contractor who hires you.
